The Senate has passed a short-term funding bill by a vote of 77-13 to prevent a partial government shutdown Friday night. The bill now goes to President Joe Biden's desk. The White House tells Scripps News that he will sign it, averting a possible partial shutdown until at least March 8, with a full government shutdown possible on March 22 if lawmakers fail to pass additional funding bills. ------------------------------------- Join our newsletter at https://bit.ly/2q1tepr Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scrippsnews/ Follow us on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/scrippsnews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scrippsnews/ Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@scrippsnews
